We really should be able to glamour other jobs' sets

[Destati]

Seeing the NPCs in Shaaloani or however it's spelled drove me up the wall because they were wearing a bunch of cross-class gear and I know they're far from the only ones that do it but boy is it annoying to see it in the expansion of our lord 7.0 while we're still restricted. And don't get me started about the NPCs who have more colorful hair options now but that's a discussion for another thread.

I'm really tired of having the feeling of "X class has better looking gear from the set than the class I'm on". One of the most egregious examples this expansion I think are the Vanguard sets. Nothing made me more bummed at the fact that Maiming gear looks like Fending gear when I saw that RPR got stuck with the armor (even though its artifact gear doesn't use it) where the other classes got the neat looking tech gear.
I always tend to like the Striking/Scouting gear but I have no interest in maining SAM, MNK, or NIN. I feel lucky to have VPR grow on me as much as it has but I feel happiest playing on and maining RPR. I just really, really hate the gear it gets stuck with.
So I am once again begging. Please let us glam gear from other classes. Even if we have to level up said classes or meet a requirement to do so.

I'm convinced at this point that Unrestricted Glamour is CBU3's "Break Glass in Case of Emergency" option for when they need to win back insane amounts of goodwill.

That would be a sc*mmy practice but I wouldn't be surprised at all lol.

Yep, that's exactly my perception too. And I guess they could gauge a little of that taste with the 2 dye channels, which ironically was literally the most audience cheered on feature from that Keynote.

And then they were yet again strangely picky with the dye channels.

As a caster I feel that! lol most of our stuff is some variation of robe, and then the healers will get a more attractive version of it… (cries in Neo-Ishgardian!). Even Vanguard, like you mention, casters and healers got essentially the same top, but the healers got better dye channels! Love the top, but if I wear it on the caster I can’t get rid of the neon yellow accents! To say nothing of how many scouting sets would look better on a DNC then the aiming ones they can actually wear!

But at this point, with so many NPCs mixing and matching, there’s no reason we shouldn’t be able to. I understand keeping current expansion gear role-restricted to keep people grinding for it and the queues filling. But everything else? Fair game! Time to go back and make more levels of gear set to “all classes” like they did with most of the pre 50/60 stuff! They did it once, they can do it again!

It was 100% the thing I was the most excited about. And then they failed the implementation so bad I don't understand what they were thinking. Most gear still doesn't have two dye channels and a lot of pieces that do have it are absolutely nonsensical. I'm sure we've all seen the examples where the second dye channel is the thread on a button, shoe laces, that kind of stuff. Really inexcusable.

Meanwhile a lot of the times I see the casting gear and go "Man, I wish I could use those colours as a healer instead"
both our troubles could be so easily solved by having it unrestricted.

And honestly, I love so much of the scouting gear pieces but no, for no good reason

They were picky enough that they skipped ARR WHM/BLM Artifact armor for double dye channels but they added double dye channels to all the cash shop items....

...I know I said that in at least two other threads by now but the implementation of double dye channels; or the way that they did it, seems a scummy practice in itself.

Maybe add "Replica" gears like Sky Rat set and every classes can glamour them

It would be nice if we had an NPC that could convert any gear into level 1 classless glamour replicas. That would solve this issue without requiring a rewrite of this current glamour system.
